The Healthcare Practice

Health insurance can be confusing, but we think it should be simple.
Join us to provide your local community with access to the sort of
healthcare that we want for ourselves and our families.

Who becomes
a Healthcare
Practice Partner?

We look for aspiring individuals who are willing to work hard.
Someone who shares our values and has a commitment to excellence.

We follow a rigorous selection process to maintain our exceptionally
high standards and select the right people.

Based from home, and with no need for stock or staff, you will generate new opportunities
within your area through networking, contacts, and introducers.

Background

Our Healthcare Partners have had many varied careers before joining the Healthcare Practice,
but they are all superb communicators who share a passion for excellence.

Experience

Far more important than sales experience, is having the right personality, dedication,
and aptitude to take responsibility for a business that has a brand our clients trust.

Personal skills

We’re always looking for people with integrity, ambition and an entrepreneurial spirit who want to
become part of a business which continues to revolutionise personal and business healthcare in the UK.

Success together

It’s about placing a Practice in the capable hands of an individual who shares our
values and working collaboratively together to grow and succeed.

Just health insurance. No distractions.

The Healthcare Practice is a wholly owned subsidiary of the insurer, Western Provident Association Limited, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
We only advise on WPA’s products and services, which provide access to the sort of healthcare that we want for ourselves and our families.
Because we're good at it, that’s all we do. Just health insurance. No distractions.

Why invest in a Healthcare Practice franchise?

For those with the passion and determination to run your own business, taking on a franchise makes perfect sense.
Operating within a proven model reduces the level of risk while giving you the flexibility to build a long-term,
sustainable business with you in control.
With around 80 Healthcare Partners across the UK and full membership of the British Franchise Association,
we know how to support the people who buy into our business.

You will be the face of the Healthcare Practice within your local community.
A person with integrity, who exemplifies our exceptionally high professional standards.
Meeting with new and existing clients, you will advise, promote and tailor WPA policies to their exact needs.
A unique advantage over other private medical insurers who rarely encounter their customers face to face.

My advice for anyone looking to become a Healthcare Partner is just do it!
If there is a practice available near you then absolutely go for it.
The training, the support, the help, the advice - it’s been the best decision that I’ve made.

Meeting existing Partners who were open and honest with me, confirmed my interest in the Healthcare Practice opportunity.
Visiting the Healthcare Practice and seeing the professional teams and sophisticated systems behind the scenes, convinced me I was making the right choice.

Lorna Smith

Healthcare Partner

The best thing about being a Healthcare Partner is running my own business and being responsible for my actions,
but knowing that I have the support and back up of an expert professional network behind me.
